By continued experience it becomes common and the man is no longer excited.

Devotee:  What is the experience of samadhi?

Ramana Maharishi:  It is as it is. For onlookers it may seem to be a swoon. Even to the practiser it may appear so in the early experiences. After a few repeated experiences it will be all right.

Devotee:  Do they soothe nadis or do they excite them by such experiences?

Ramana Maharishi:  They are excited at first. By continued experience it becomes common and the man is no longer excited.

Devotee:  Proceeding on safe lines there should be no unpleasantness. Excitement is uncongenial to smooth being and working.

Ramana Maharishi:  A wandering mind is on the wrong way; only a devotional mind is on the right way.
